Congratulations to Ciril Jazbec (@ciriljazbec) — his photograph Leona 2 (from the series SILA: Between the Ice and Sky, 2024) was selected for the Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize 2025. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize showcases the work of talented photographers, gifted amateurs and established professionals in the very best of contemporary photography. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This photo is now on view at the @nationalportraitgallery Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize 2025 group exhibition until 8 February 2026. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “This portrait was made during the production of an upcoming documentary film, supported by the @insidenatgeo. We were following an Inuit hunter on a seal-hunting trip when, back at the cabin, Leona—a young girl from Uummannaq—suddenly painted her face with seal blood. It was a powerful, timeless gesture that spoke of heritage, resilience, and the pulse of ancestors still alive in Greenlandic youth today. “ Ciril Jazbec ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #CirilJazbec #Photographer #TaylorWessingPrize
